Hi,
I’m writing a piece for harp and I’d like to use the près de la table playing technique but gradually (similar to doing ord - sul pont for strings over a few measures). However, the popover won’t let me edit it that way. How do I make it so that I can make that specific harp technique appear gradually on the score?
Playing techniques that have duration (ie span a set amount of rhythmic time) can show continuation lines: “transition” lines go between two grouped playing techniques, and “duration” lines extend after a single, ungrouped playing technique or the last playing technique in a group.
If your playing technique has duration but isn’t showing a line, check how you’ve set up its continuation lines in the Edit Playing Techniques dialog.
This sounds like something you would have to ramp up with a CC line, if your VST allows that sort of control over près de la table.
Hi,
I’ve tried editing the playing technique to create a gradual effect in the edit playing techniques panel, but it won’t let me write it out properly. The playing technique is not one that usually has a continuation but i want to turn it into one that does so i could notate a gradual shift. How would I do that?
Hi,
Thank you for sending the page for the playing technique continuation lines. I was able to figure it out thanks to the tutorial video.
(For anyone who sees this post later)
The solution is to use the popover panel with shift+p and writing out both the 2 different playing techniques with a → in between them. It cannot be done with the side panel.

You could also achieve it after the fact by grouping together two playing techniques that already existed on the same staff.
